General
- Wild camping with Black Mountains views 15 minutes’ drive from Usk
- Tintern Abbey 25 minutes’ drive, and Symonds Yat 40 minutes
- Back-to-basics pitches with woodland crafts courses available
Set in a 1.5-acre, hilltop meadow looking out over forested hills to the Black Mountains, Golden Hill Wood is both a basic Monmouthshire pop-up site and a spectacular place to pitch up. There’s masses of space in the camping field, and guests are also very welcome to explore and let their kids play in the adjoining broadleaf woodland.
One of the missions at Golden Hill Wood is to manage the woods and meadow for biodiversity and conservation, and to support traditional woodland products – to learn more, you can book courses in woodland crafts when you arrive at the site.
As far as food goes, you can cook up a barbecue feast on your firepit, eat at several pubs within 20 minutes’ drive, or head for takeaways and restaurants in the pretty town of Usk (15 minutes in the car).
Facilities on this simple wild site stretch only to a compost toilet. There is no electricity and no running water, so come prepared with a supply of water and torches – although of course, the lack of light on the camping field means that you’ll hopefully catch some dazzling displays of stars on clear nights.

Local attractions
Staying at Golden Hill Wood means easy access to hiking paths and cycling trails in the Black Mountains (half an hour’s drive), and all the sporting action – paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking – along the river in the Wye Valley (20 minutes). If you’re travelling with kids, the wacky sculpture trails in the Forest of Dean (45 minutes) might persuade them that walking is a ‘good thing’ to do.
For more strenuous sporting activity, go gorge walking at Symonds Yat (40 minutes), run yourselves ragged on rope courses and zipwires at Puzzlewood (35 minutes), or ride a Segway through the forest at Go Ape Mallards Pike (45 minutes).
Less adrenaline-inducing pursuits hereabouts include castle-spotting: have a wander round the romantic ruins of 15th-century Raglan Castle, and admire the mighty defence towers at clifftop Chepstow Castle (both 20 minutes). Alternatively, spend a peaceful afternoon exploring the chapels and cloisters of landmark Tintern Abbey (25 minutes), or discover all about regional Welsh life at the Usk Rural Life Museum (15 minutes).

Hello, thanks so much for pointing out the gate issue - we’ve added an easier latch so hopefully that’s now resolved!👍
